    Summary

    Eddie tells Buck nothing will change between the two of them, except it does.

    He feels Buck quickly slipping away so he starts to steal pieces of him back. Literally.

    Or, the one where Eddie has a couple of come to Jesus moments courtesy of Christopher and Tommy, a bit of an emotional breakdown, and a lot of feelings about Evan Buckley’s dentist appointments and where his socks belong.

    Summary

    For Buck realizing he's Bisexual in his 30s sucks. Realizing he's bi and hopelessly attracted to his straight single dad best friend? Reeaally sucks.

    Buck has some self reflection to do and some hard realizations to face. He's also trying to get better at taking care of himself. He's not great at it.

    *This fic will oscillate WILDLY between fluff, angst, smut and back again. Be warned!

    Summary

    Missing Chris is less of an emotion these days and more of a physical entity. He’s sure everyone can see that he’s slowly hollowing himself out, that he can’t do much of anything else.

    But when Jee laughs at him trying to get his tongue to touch his nose, and Mara loops one of her arms through his to keep him from tossing the rest of his cup in the garbage, Eddie feels solid again.

    Maybe he likes yellow birthday cake ice cream after all.

     

    (or, gerrard messes with the team's schedules and eddie 'i just drove my son to flee the state' diaz is the only option to watch mara and jee-yun after school on tuesdays, which, shouldn't be a problem at all, right?)

    Summary

    Footsteps echo in his ears and Buck bites his lip in fear and frustration. There’s only one thing he can do.

    Buck reaches for his radio, ignoring the sounds of scuffling feet and shouting strangers approaching.

    “Mayday, mayday, mayday,” Buck presses out as steady as possible. “This is Firefighter Buck–Ah!”

    A hand grabbing a fistful of his hair cuts off his sentence, ripping a cry from his lips as his head is jerked back.


    Buck is kidnapped from a call and held for ransom, but it only gets worse the longer that he’s kept in the dark. He doesn’t know who these people are or what they want, and there’s only so much he can handle before he’s pushed over the edge.

    Summary

    When the 118 find out about Buck’s secret thirst account on Instagram – to raise fire safety awareness, obviously – they make fun of him the appropriate amount and move on. Eddie, who has had some recent and birthmark-shaped revelations about his feelings, finds it a little harder to do the same.

    Of course, Eddie would never invade Buck’s privacy by searching for and finding the anonymous account. Or looking at all the uploaded photos late at night. Or even directly messaging Buck’s secret account. That would be weird, because he’s certainly not planning on doing anything about his newfound attraction.

    However, anonymous account @elbombero118 has no such limitations.
